The California High-Speed Rail Authority on Wednesday tentatively approved a plan to bypass downtown San Bernardino in the proposed bullet train route from Union Station in Los Angeles to San Diego.
Agency staff had recommended against a station there because it would add six minutes to travel time and cost $700 million more to build, officials said. The Inland Empire would still have stops at Ontario International Airport, March Air Reserve Base and UC Riverside. A final vote is set for Dec. 15.
